- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.0 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 12 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Going at 6.12 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 6.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.92 per match at 28.3, economy 6.12, strike rate 27.7.
